Request a Quote

Growing an ecommerce store built on WordPress is an exciting feat, yet you might find that you’re unable to keep up with demand. Orders are shipped late, customers become unhappy, and you need to find more storage space and hire labour to keep up with the demand.

The retail fulfilment process takes a lot of time and money and distracts you from the day-to-day management of your ecommerce business. So how do you handle WordPress fulfilment in a way that helps grow your business, but doesn’t break the bank?

3PLs like ShipBob have best-in-class integrations with WooCommerce, a robust and growing fulfilment network, and the tools to help your business grow. Here we’ll cover how to work with a 3PL to grow your WordPress store and turn warehousing, logistics, and fulfilment into a revenue driver.

Ready to grow your WordPress store? ShipBob can help

Many online stores built on WordPress or WooCommerce have a lot of tools and supporting players working behind the scenes to provide the best experience. One commonly outsourced task is order fulfilment.

Partnering with a 3PL like ShipBob who handles warehousing, fulfilment services, and other important operations saves money in the long run and frees up time to focus on other areas of your business. Here’s why you should let ShipBob handle your WordPress fulfilment:

Compete against Amazon with 2-day shipping nationwide

Customers want their products delivered as quickly as possible. Amazon is the market leader, and many small and mid-sized businesses struggle to offer free or affordable 2-day shipping because of the costs and vast logistics network needed.

However, partnering with ShipBob lets you offer affordable 2-day ground shipping, helping you compete, provide a great experience, and ensure your customers don’t go elsewhere.

Minimise stockouts: insightful reorder points and stock audits

Your inventory is stored in ShipBob’s warehouses, and you can track stock levels from ShipBob’s merchant dashboard. With our easy-to-use technology, you can set reorder points to let you know when it’s time to re-order each SKU. This means no more stockouts or over-ordering.

Warehouses near your customers

With ShipBob, you get warehouses that touch every corner of the US and an ever-expanding network. If your customers are coast-to-coast, you can expand into additional fulfilment centres for reduced transit times and shipping costs. Orders are automatically sent to the warehouse closest to the customer.

You get to choose where to store your goods and we provide the inventory allocation recommendations with the data you need to make informed decisions.

Shipping discounts from all the big couriers

ShipBob partners with Australia Post, UPSFedEx, and DHL to cover all of your domestic and international shipping needs and has fulfilment centres across the globe. Because of these partnerships, ecommerce businesses working with ShipBob can save thousands a year on shipping costs.

Better shipping, with none of the hassle

If you’re running a WordPress store, you’re likely using WooCommerce to power it. With ShipBob, you can integrate your store with our software to pull in all of your product and order information for a streamlined WordPress fulfilment process.

1. Ship inventory to a ShipBob warehouse

Once you go through onboarding with ShipBob, you ship your inventory to a predetermined ShipBob warehouse (your manufacturer can send inventory directly) using our warehouse receiving order process. You can start with one fulfilment centre location of your choice, and expand over time as it makes sense for your business.

2. A customer places an order

A customer makes an order and the order is sent to the warehouse with inventory closest to the shipping destination. You can track every stage of the fulfilment process, and your customers can track their order status.

3. ShipBob ships the order fast

No more printing labels, packing and driving to the post office. ShipBob takes care of everything (and even has a guaranteed a 2-day shipping program for the best WordPress fulfilment). Since 2-day shipping increases conversion rates, you’ll likely see more orders coming in or a higher AOV.

4. Grow

When you outsource WordPress fulfilment to ShipBob, you can increase efficiencies, sales, customers satisfaction, and scale your business in a smart way.

Fast-growing WordPress stores use ShipBob

Some of the fastest-growing and established WordPress stores have used ShipBob for WordPress fulfilment. ShipBob has thousands of customers across verticals who trust us for order fulfilment. Don’t just take our word for it.

Here’s what some customers have to say:

Easy integration

“Our store is on WooCommerce, which integrates well with ShipBob. I loved how easy it was to set up my products in the dashboard for all SKUs. I’ve already referred a friend and fellow founder to ShipBob, who already loves how easy the dashboard is to use, since he was using a 3PL’s technology that was less than ideal and very manual.”

Leonie Lynch, Founder & CEO of Juspy

Keeping focused on your mission

“ShipBob has been a great partner as we grow. Our focus is to grow our business, and that will not be achieved by packing up orders, sending out boxes, and dealing with enormous couriers like FedEx and UPS ourselves. That’s what ShipBob has mastered. We want to focus on engaging with our customers, building our community, and continually developing new products that keep pace with customer needs. ShipBob lets us do just that.”

Pablo Gabatto, Business Operations Manager at Ample Foods

Getting your life back

“I was leashed to my label printer and my house to fulfil orders constantly. Now I’m free. To say that switching to ShipBob has been life-changing is an understatement. Thinking big picture, it was an incremental cost for me to ultimately sell a lot more. My business has tripled and I got my life back.”

Anastasia Allison, Founder of Kula Cloth
